In January, Mark and his crew spent a week shooting Purina packaging on location in Los Angeles for Checkmark (with agency creatives Bill Kumke & Todd Doyle). Part of the shoot was at a gorgeous private ranch & the rest on the beach.  The weather (& dogs) cooperated beautifully. The crew left town just before a major wind storm that led to fires in Malibu.

More production photos after the jump. 

Sometimes location shoots can be uncomfortable.  Sometimes. 

Mark Katzman & producer Scott Reed highly recommend two restaurants from the trip, Boa Steak and Geoffrey's Malibu.
